[cvdc-l] Register Now for the 12th Annual Columbia Values Diversity Celebration

[cvdc-l at news.gocolumbiamo.com]

The Columbia Values Diversity Celebration is scheduled for January 13,
2005 from 7:00 a.m.-8:45 a.m. at the Holiday Inn Select Expo Center. The
Celebration brings people together from throughout our community to
share breakfast followed by a special program honoring Dr. Martin Luther
King, Jr. and the presentation of the annual "Columbia Values
Diversity Awards."

This year's program is entitled, "The Promised Land...Harmony in
Diversity" is an original creation of Mark and Shawna Kelty using
information gathered by local teens participating in the InterACT
Teen-to-Teen Theatre and Parks and Recreation CARE programs. 

This theatrical program weaves excerpts from interviews with local
citizens about their own personal journeys to America and their hopes
and dreams for a better life highlighted and contrasted with the
experience of historical figures from our country's past. Dr. King's
perspective on the African-American experience will provide the common
thread that weaves through this program celebrating our national
tapestry. Rather than being a "melting pot," the program will expand
your appreciation for the unique harmonies that we have created from our
rich diversity. Local artists will perform dance, music and drama in a
program that will fill you with a renewed spirit of the strength we all
draw from our diversity.
